Álláshirdetés szövege

The Innovation Lab sits within Children's Services at Barnardo's. We apply research, design thinking, and technology to ensure that young people have access to evolving and relevant support, online or offline, whenever and wherever they need it. The work we do is driven by a vision of making a real impact and improving the lives of young people, through shaping the future of Barnardo's services.
We are looking for a Software Quality Assurance Engineer to join our growing team, who shares this ambition.
Your role and what you can expect
You'll join an Agile team, working together with the Tech Lead and a diverse team including developers, a delivery manager, service / product designers and a product owner.
Together, you will work on ‘Journey' - an exciting multi-purpose web application providing two products positively affecting the lives of young people. ‘Journey Steps' gives young people leaving care control of their journey towards independence. ‘Journey Together' allows young people to easily communicate with their worker providing them with 1:1 mental health support.
You'll help deliver new, high-quality features and build the systems that support them. Our approach is user-centred, and new features are researched, evaluated, and delivered to the highest standard. You'll be part of a team that values and prioritises user feedback and makes a meaningful impact on the lives of young people all around the UK.
We follow best practice, automating testing, and improving accessibility - whilst consistently evaluating and improving the performance and scalability of the app. The tools and frameworks we use are evaluated and assessed to align with user needs and product requirements.
Through generous autonomy and support we have the freedom to shape how we work. This has led to a collaborative culture and a well-engineered platform that is a joy to own and develop. This means we can support rolling out the product to more children's support services.
Tech stack you will be working with
The platform has a Ruby on Rails API and a web app developed in JavaScript using Preact. The Rails API has a well-documented REST and GraphQL interface. The API and web app have their own repositories and deployment workflows, following a ‘decoupled architecture' approach.
Your role will primarily involve working on our end-to-end Cypress and Jest snapshot tests written in JavaScript. You may get involved with Rspec unit testing to help increase coverage and resilience of the backend API. We have set up continuous integration to automate deployments and testing using CircleCI.
We have exciting features in progress and planned, such as an activity log and smart notification system. Our ‘event-driven architecture' using Kafka and Elastic Search helps support existing and upcoming key features. Furthermore, we provide users with real-time functionality via web sockets using a third-party provider. All of these require robust testing systems and processes that balance quality assurance and the impact on delivery.

When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document (if applicable). This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.
